Uh oh. Sounds like Chef may have been over exerting himself again. 😉 ;) Damn, women! He just gave you sweet lovin’ five minutes ago!
Congratulations to Michele, Marc, and everyone who made Flipped possible! Amanda and I saw the second screening tonight, and it is a very well done film. I was glad to see that it wasn’t over-dramatized, and really just let the issue speak for itself, which was powerful enough. Sam Hoyt said in the film that…
Count me among the people that are underimpressed by the iPhone. For those of us that have been using smartphones already, the iPhone is a bit of a let down. Sure, it’s got that sleek, spiffy look that Apple has become synonomous with, and I can honestly say it’s probably one of the best looking…
Good news from the pages of USA Today… fourteen states now require high school grads to have some basic personal finance training. States are recognizing that financial literacy is an important “skill for the 21st century,” says Joseph Peri of NCEE. “We don’t wait until college to teach students how to read. Why would we…
After checking my Technorati profile, I noticed a link from a blog that I wasn’t familiar with. They quoted my Tax Freedom Day post from last week. I’m flattered. Democracy In Action (.org) is “the first nonprofit organization providing an affordable, integrated online campaign solution for nonprofits of any size.” Cool. Sounds like my kind…
We picked a builder! We’re happy to announce we’ve selected Custom Builders of WNY to build our home. May was largely spent on two points – talking to our potential builders and contractors on site development thoughts and working to bring down our cost estimates. Both of these things led us towards picking CBWNY. That’s…
From all those photographs, the one that struck me (and probably not many others) the most is the one with the bicycles all lined up. The juxtaposition of very modern with the very communist-egalitarian is a hoot. I have a similar photograph from my trip to Shanghai – hundreds upon hundreds of bicycles, all virtually identical, Schwinn-looking, rust-covered, circa 1950s. I never did find out if they were community property or individually owned, but I couldn’t imagine knowing how to tell mine from the others, had I owned one.
I guess you had to be there.

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
